Hello and welcome to my book review blog The Tattooed Book!
I’m Cara, a bookseller, booklover and reviewer. Here you will find everything book related that makes me go ooooohhh and aaaahhh. News, reviews and the occasional opinion; I’m hoping to cover it all. In my first ever post, I’m looking at the brand new Penguin Ink series.
Penguin Ink Series
The 2011 Penguin Ink series includes six beautiful modern classic books that you need on your shelves. This series features novels with brand new covers designed by some of the most talented tattoo artists from all over the world. In my opinion, the cover of Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller steals the show! The cover was designed by the amazingly talented Valerie Vargas and is even more beautiful in the flesh.
The series is made up of:
- Will Self, The Book of Dave with a cover by Duncan X;
- Jonathan Coe, The Rotters’ Club with a cover by Han Van de Sluys;
- Ali Smith, The Accidental with a cover by Judd Ripley;
- Zadie Smith, White Teeth with a cover by Lynn Akura;
- Nick Hornby, High Fidelity with a cover by Russ Abbott;
- Zoe Heller, Notes on a Scandal with a cover by Valerie Vargas.
